THE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL IN FRANKFURT

It’s been a busy and joyful time in our Grade 2, with learning happening in many different ways:

🎨 Cultural research: Students expanded their knowledge of a country they chose to research by creating a stamp representing that culture. Each stamp included thoughtful cultural elements to showcase what they had learned about countries around the world.

❄️ Snowy surprise: An unexpected snowfall last week gave students an extra 10 minutes of outdoor play, making the most of the freshly fallen snow!

➕ Maths in action: Students used flexible mathematical thinking while playing Target with a partner. By rolling dice, they created two-digit addition problems and worked mentally to get as close to the target number as possible. The class showed strong focus, collaboration, and mental maths skills throughout the activity 😉✅🦊

🩺💙 Learning Life Skills & Giving Back 🤝✨

Across the EU tomorrow (11.2) is recognized as the European Day of the Emergency Number 112! ⛑️🩹🤗

Some of our G9-12 students recently took part in a Babysitting First Aid Course run by @jrkfrankfurt and generously sponsored by Friends of MSF — a wonderful example of how our community comes together to support meaningful learning opportunities.

The course focused on building real-life skills, confidence, and responsibility, empowering students to care for others and give back to the community in practical ways.

As one student shared:

“We learned how to use bandages properly and practiced things like the Heimlich maneuver and mouth-to-mouth on mannequins. It was actually really fun doing the activities together and practicing on the mannequins, and it made the class way more enjoyable. I also liked working with different people and learning skills that could actually be useful in real-life events.”

Experiences like this help our students grow into capable, caring, and community-minded young people — prepared not just for school, but for life beyond it 🤗🦊✅

🫁🧠 Primary Science | Learning How Our Bodies Work

Science came to life as our Primary students explored the respiratory and digestive systems through hands-on model making.

Using simple materials, students created lung models to see how breathing works in real time — squeezing, observing, and connecting movement to airflow. Others worked together to model digestion, discussing how food travels through the body and why each step matters.

Along the way, we saw curiosity, teamwork, careful observation, and plenty of great questions — exactly what meaningful learning looks like in action 🤗🦊🌟

What a win!! So proud of our MSF Robotics teams! 🤩👏🌟

This past Saturday at the FLL Robotics Competition in Frankfurt, our students got the 1st place - they won the Core Values and Robot Games Awards. A particularly special moment was seeing both teams, Foxes 1 and Foxes 2, reach the finals and compete against one another.

Congratulations to our students for representing MSF with such dedication, teamwork, and excellence 🤖🦊😎

Our Early Years students enjoyed a fun and practical handwashing lesson led by our school nurse Miss Karen, together with two Grade 8 students completing their Duke of Edinburgh requirements. They explained the hows and whys of handwashing, demonstrated the correct technique, and each child went home with a little soap gift to celebrate their learning. 🥰 🧼🫧

With our new school building complete, our Early Years Frogs class enjoyed a fun scavenger hunt to find all the fire exits around the school! They learned what to do in case of a fire or emergency. Learning how to stay safe can be an adventure too! 🥰
